Are not they adorable? I cannot wait to ply all these specialty ribbons and novelty yarns into some art yarn! The girls in my spinning group are going to be jealous when they see these sweet bundles!

Now, you do not have to be a spinner to use these 2-yard lengths of fiber magic. You could use them to put fringe on a scarf, you could use them to decorate your gift boxes, or you could tie one in your hair.

Are you like me and find yourself drooling over such fiber goodness? Want some for yourself? Head over to FishBayElements and check out the great selections there.

A little bit of the Druid forest showed up at my door in a small box. It came from my Secret Santa on one of my Etsy teams:

In
it are some samples of magical fragrances that I’ve been coveting for a
while. Since the packing box, full of fragrant leaves, already had me
dreaming that I was about to dance a reel with Jamie Fraser, I sampled
the one called “Druid Forest” immediately. Oh yes, surely my name now is
Claire.

This fragrance was magic! I can imagine the scenarios that accompany
each of the other three fragrances in the box:

I am going to pretend that I am a goddess while wearing “Circe.” “Bone
Queen” is going to get me ready for some meditation, and “Snake Oil”
will have me shedding my skin for some mysterious travel between the
realms.

The box came with the perfume-maker’s card. Hagroot is her name, and you
much be prepared for the magic of these potions if you try them.

This little gift arrived as a prize in an Etsy team drawing: an adorable blue hippo in a pink tutu. These hippos were handmade and sold to bring money to Azul Wasi, an
orphanage for boys outside Cuzco in Peru.

This hippo is very talented. It was easy to train it to balance on one of the balls of my hand-spun yarn. It is also a very curious creature as you can see in the next photo.

Here it is examining a little shenanigift from a generous teammate. I haven't decided what to name it. Let me know if you have any ideas.
